Cloud Pub/Sub is a fully-managed real-time messaging service that allows you to send and receive messages between independent applications.

This document contains links to an API reference, samples, and other resources useful to developing Node.js applications. For additional help developing Pub/Sub applications, in Node.js and other languages, see our Pub/Sub quickstart, publisher, and subscriber guides.

Read more about the client libraries for Cloud APIs, including the older Google APIs Client Libraries, in Client Libraries Explained.

Quickstart

Before you begin

  1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
  2. Enable billing for your project.
  3. Enable the Google Cloud Pub/Sub API.
  4. Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.

Installing the client library

npm install @google-cloud/pubsub

Using the client library

// Imports the Google Cloud client library
const {PubSub} = require('@google-cloud/pubsub');

async function quickstart(
  projectId = 'your-project-id', // Your Google Cloud Platform project ID
  topicName = 'my-topic' // Name for the new topic to create
) {
  // Instantiates a client
  const pubsub = new PubSub({projectId});

  // Creates the new topic
  const [topic] = await pubsub.createTopic(topicName);
  console.log(`Topic ${topic.name} created.`);
}

Running gRPC C++ bindings

For some workflows and environments it might make sense to use the C++ gRPC implementation, instead of the default one (see: #770):

To configure @google-cloud/pubsub to use an alternative grpc transport:

  1. npm install grpc, adding grpc as a dependency.

  2. instantiate @google-cloud/pubsub with grpc:

    const {PubSub} = require('@google-cloud/pubsub');
    const grpc = require('grpc');
    const pubsub = new PubSub({grpc});

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be General Availability (GA). This means it is stable; the code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against GA libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
